I have been there as well, and when that is the place you live, I am afraid you don't have the luxury about worrying about the provenance of your food...this is especially so when you have young, hungry mouths to feed.
You buy what you can afford, cook it slowly and waste nothing.
Many pensioners grew up in this kind of environment, and through no fault of their own, are back there again.
